    Morning everone :hello:
    Today is moving day so i'll be flying at my sister's.:rotfl:
    Need to get kids ready and pack up the car, should be good 4 adults and 4 kids.:eek:

    Soappie i'm glad your ok, what a shock it most have been.
    GnB your kitty is so cute.

    Right i best go and i'll see you all later.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Argh, trying to upload pics of Newton and failing!

    Ok, think that worked, we'll see...

    Ooh, he's a Basement Cat! (Realises with that sentence that she spends too much time reading the I Can Has Cheezburger site)

    Is it true that every black cat has a few lighter hairs somewhere?

    Have an excellent day, I will be back to fly much later...

    I'm back online! :j:beer::T
    Good morning everyone! I'm finally back online after nearly 2 weeks without being able to connect! Hope everyone is well, and thank you to LadyL :kisses3:for updating everyone for me.
    I've just skimmed the last page of the last thread, and see that congratulations are in order for Mrs Zoe. t5509.gif
    Big hugs for everyone, and thanks for all of the hellos whilst I've been MIA.
    Anyone fancy a HHC to celebrate my return? 10-10.30?
    I'm working this afternoon, so need to get going as I don't have much time, and this will help me focus.

    ETA GnB, Newton is gorgeous! He's just like my Ebony was when he was a kitten.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    I really do hope it rains today as I can't handle these hot evenings (just don't sleep) and the humid days.

    Well it's raining here :mad:
    and I think the milk is on the turn - so black coffee.

    Hope it eases off before I have to go to dentist.

    Sexymouse good to see you back :hello:

    Im a hoarder when it comes to food and panic if I have less than 8 tins of anything!! My freezer is chocca so need to sort through it and start using it instead of going out to the shop to buy yet even more stuff (I waste sooo much money on buying food that I dont use or need for that matter)

    :eek::eek: I thought you were looking in my cupboards then:rotfl:
    nothing wrong with hoarding food but you need to be carefull and use it wisely so you have no waste or very little waste it can be done.

    Bed stripped and in the wash window open although would be nice to have a drop of rain.
    Floordrobe decluttered and have filled a bag of stuff to go on ebay once I have listed it I am going to try and find another bag full. Also need to get PC down from on top of wardrobe and take all the stuff of it and list that as it is never used so whats the point in keeping it?

    Coffee and back to it.

    Well my HHC went on a bit longer than expected as I was on a roll with the filing that I was behind on, and didn't want to stop until it was all finished.

    So, in my HHC I:

    Emptied and reloaded the DW
    Collected all of the bits of paperwork from around the house
    Sorted the paperwork into piles for recycling and filing and burning
    Filed all of the paperwork in the appropriate folders
    Made a dentist appointment for my annual check-up whilst I had my NHS number to hand (they requested it at the last appointment as they didn't have it on their records) - Friday 13th August (I'm sure it'll all be fine though).

    The desk is looking a lot tidier now, although there are still piles of paper to deal with that belong to Moon. Will ask him to sort them out when he comes home so that I can give the desk a proper dust and clean.

    How did everyone else do?

    Well I suppose I'd better start thinking about an early lunch as I'll be finding out about the afternoon's lessons during the lunch break, and the school is quite a long drive away.

    Happy flying everyone!
